off position.
Hold the switch up to raise the jib. Hold the switch down
to lower the jib.
Note
The jib and platform rotate functions can not be oper-
ated at the same time. The platform rotate function will
override the jib function.
Platform Level Switch

level the platform floor with respect to the ground. The
switch is spring returned to the center off position.
Hold the switch up to tilt the platform floor upward or
away from the ground. Hold the switch down to tilt the

Engine/Emergency Power Switch
Hold the engine/emergency power switch (refer to Figure

Throttle Switch
The throttle switch (refer to Figure 6.2) is used to set the
engine throttle speed to either low or high idle.
Place the switch in the low position before starting the
engine and in the high position for machine operation and
for engine and/or hydraulic system warm-up.
The engine has a two speed throttle operation from the
lower controls. When the throttle switch is in the low
position the engine is at idle. Placing the switch in the
high position increases the engine speed to mid-range.
Placing the ground controls switch in the on position also
increase the engine speed to mid-range.
Fuel Switch
Engines on machines with the dual fuel option can be
operated using gasoline or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
Dual fuel machines have a gasoline tank and an LPG
tank behind the door on the right side of the turntable.
The fuel switch may be used to select between gasoline
and LPG operation.
Place the switch up to operate on LPG and down to oper-
ate the engine using gasoline.
